Inflammatory Phenotype

In the aging mouse (C57BL/6) myocardium fibrosis steadily increases after 14 months of age and is accompanied by elevated numbers of myeloid derived fibroblasts. Recently, we proposed a mechanism by which inflammatory mesenchymal fibroblasts (IMF) derived from mesenchymal stem cells secrete monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) necessary for myeloid fibroblast induction in the aging heart. The current study extends the characterization of this inflammatory phenotype by describing elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion and increased expression of IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) in IMF. Since IL-6R lacks an intracellular domain it requires a co-receptor gp130 (generally expressed) to induce an intracellular signal. Thus, generation of an IL-6R soluble receptor allows IL-6 signaling on cells that do not express IL-6R (or expression is low), such as endothelial cells. We investigate the function of IL-6 and IL-6R in the promotion of transendothelial migration of monocytes through cardiac endothelium and their maturation into myeloid fibroblasts in in vitro assay. Treatments with IL-6 and more extensively IL-6+IL-6R resulted in a 3-5 fold increase (above the control level) in myeloid cell migration and maturation into myeloid fibroblasts. Thus IMF can contribute both IL-6 and IL-6R to endothelial cells and facilitate myeloid cell transendothelial migration. In agreement with these data, analysis of the aged mouse heart revealed the presence of fibroblasts expressing IL-6 (procollagen type I + IL-6 + cells), M1 macrophages (CD86 + cells) and M2 macrophages (CD301 + procollagen type I + cells) that were absent in hearts from young mice. The mechanisms by which expression of these factors is upregulated in IMF are being investigated; our data suggest that MCP-1 and IL-6 expression are controlled by the farnesyltransferase (FTase)-Ras-Erk1/2 pathway. Interestingly, since atorvastatin interferes with farnesyl synthesis it also reduced MCP-1 and IL-6 expression in IMF. These data may introduce a new use of this class of drugs in the prevention of the age-related fibrosis.

Eur J Endocrinol 1994;130:381–6. ISSN 0804–4643 The cellular effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on human bone cells in vitro have been variable and dependent on the culture system used. Variability could be attributed to differences in responsiveness to NaF among different populations of cells at various stages of differentiation in the osteoblastic lineage. In this study we compared the effects of NaF in serum-free medium on cultures of more differentiated human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells derived from trabecular bone explants and on osteoblast committed precursors derived from human bone marrow, i.e. human marrow stromal osteoblast-like (hMS(OB)) cells. Sodium fluoride (10−5 mol/l) increased proliferation of hMS(OB) cells (p<0.05, N = 10) but was not mitogenic to hOB cells (p>0.05, N= 10). Alkaline phosphatase (AP) production increased in both hMS(OB) (p<0.05, N=9) and hOB cells (p<0.05, N=9). No significant effects on procollagen type I propeptide production were obtained in either culture. In the presence of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (10−9 mol/l), NaF enhanced alkaline phosphatase (p<0.05, N=8), procollagen type I propeptide (p<0.05, N=7) and osteocalcin (p<0.05, N=7) production by hMS(OB) cells but not by hOB cells. Our results suggest that osteoblast precursors are more sensitive to NaF action than mature osteoblasts and that the in vivo effects of NaF on bone formation may be mediated by stimulating proliferation and differentiation of committed osteoblast precursors in bone marrow.

Carboxyterminal Telopeptide

Background: The fibrillar myocardial extracellular matrix is mainly composed of type I and III fibrillar collagen and their turnover are reflected in the serum level of carboxyl-terminal propeptide type I (PIP) and procollagen type III aminoterminal peptide (PIIINP). The prognostic value of these biomarkers in elderly individuals with heart failure (HF) or other cardiovascular disease (CVD) and in healthy subjects is largely unknown. Aim: To determine the predictive value of PIP, its degradation metabolite, carboxyterminal telopeptide of procollagen type I (CTIP), and PIIINP serum level for the incident CV morbidity and mortality in a nested case control study of community-dwelling elderly individuals enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). Methods: In 880 participants (ppts) enrolled in the CHS (mean age 77 ± 6 yrs, 52 % males, 79 % white), 310 with HF, 287 controls (no HF but other CVD) and 283 healthy ppts, serum levels of PIIINP, PIP and CTIP were measured by radioimmunoassay. The number of incident CV disease and death were recorded. Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Cox proportional hazards regression were used as appropriate. Results: Age, gender and race and fully adjusted analyses are presented in the table : Conclusions: In this large elderly cohort, there is a strong association between CTIP, PIIINP and incident CVD and death. Elevated CTIP level increases the risk of death more than 50% and of symptomatic PVD by almost two-fold. Whereas PIIINP has a lower predictive power than CTIP, PIP was not associated with incident CVD or death. Serum CTIP and PIIINP have a good prognostic value for both incident CVD and death in elderly individuals with or without known CV disease.

Problem The authors investigated the expression of key extracellular matrix genes after vocal fold wounding in a rat model to better understand the reparative mechanisms of tissue repair during the remodeling phase of vocal fold injury. Methods Bilateral vocal fold wounds were created in 30 rats. Injured vocal fold specimens were harvested 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days after wounding. 5 unwounded rats were used to establish baseline for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The authors used real-time PCR to quantify messenger RNA expression of procollagen type I, III, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), decorin, and hyaluronan synthase (HAS) −1, −2, and −3. Analysis of variance was used to detect main effects for gene expression. Post-hoc tests were used to make comparisons between time points. Results Procollagen type I expression was decreased from baseline on post-injury day 1, 28, and 56. Procollagen type III was decreased on post-injury day 1 and 56, and increased from baseline on post-injury day 14. IL-1 beta expression was increased from baseline on post-injury day 1, 3, and 7. Decorin expression was decreased from baseline on post-injury day 1, 3, 7, and 56. HAS-1 expression was decreased from baseline at all post-injury time points. HAS-2 expression was increased from baseline on post-injury day 3, and decreased from baseline on post-injury day 14, 28, and 56. HAS-3 expression was decreased from baseline on post-injury day 1, 28, and 56. Conclusion Findings provide temporal changes in the expression of key extracellular matrix genes during a remodeling phase of vocal fold injury in a rat wound model. Significance Vocal fold wound models provide a means for investigating tissue reparative processes and molecular mechanisms controlling synthesis and degradation of the vocal fold extracellular matrix.

Diagnostic Index

Object Fibrosis along the route of CSF flow is indicated by the development of hydrocephalus. The changes of fibrosis index might reflect the level of hydrocephalus and even become a diagnostic index of hydrocephalus. The object of this study was to analyze the levels of procollagen Type I C-terminal propeptide (PICP), procollagen Type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP), hyaluronic acid (HA), and laminin (LN) and their significance in the CSF of communicating hydrocephalus rat models. Methods Thirty adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: hydrocephalus group (20 rats) with intraventricular kaolin injections, sham control group (5 rats) with saline injections, and normal group (5 rats) without any processing. The levels of PICP, PIIINP, HA, and LN in the CSF were detected using ELISA. Results Levels of PICP, PIIINP, HA, and LN in the hydrocephalus group were significantly higher than those in the saline control group (p < 0.05). It was revealed by correlation analysis that the increase was positively correlated with the severity of ventricular dilation. Conclusions Results indicated that PICP, PIIINP, HA, and LN continue to rise dramatically in experimental hydrocephalus and may serve as the diagnostic index of hydrocephalus.

Procollagen Type I

About half of the rabbit antisera raised against type-I procollagen, p alpha 1(I) chain or nonreduced procollagen peptides reacted in a radioimmunoassay with the reduced form of peptide Col 1, which comprises the whole non-collagenous region at the N-terminus of procollagen. Proteolytic fragments prepared from reduced peptide Col 1 were still effective inhibitors of the antibodies and allowed the localization of two antigenic determinants. The antigenically active regions have the sequences less than Glu-Glu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Gln-Glu and Gly-Asp-Thr-Gly-Pro-Arg, and are located at the N- and C-termini of the peptide respectively. Antibodies raised against reduced peptide Col 1 bind to a determinant localized in a different region of the peptide.
